The US and British "calculations have gone seriously wrong," Sinha said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with AFP.

"It's not merely in terms of military resistance that the Iraqi army was likely to offer but also the mood of the people of Iraq.

"I don't know on what they had based their calculations but what one knows from experience now of 14 days that it was a serious miscalculation."

The military action did not have the sanction of the United Nations and most countries were opposed to it, he said. [...]
